Learning How to Ride a Bike One of my childhood memories that I remember was when I learned how to ride a bike by myself. I remembered that during one summer, my parents bought me the bike at Toys R Us. the bike costed around a hundred dollars. It took me about three days to learn how to ride a bike by myself. One day, my parents took my little brother and I to Toys R Us to pick a toy. When we arrived at Toys R Us, I already wanted to jump off of the car and run into the building. I was excited to get a new toy and get home as fast as possible to open the package to play with the toy that I would be getting. As I got out of the car, I told my parents to hurry, so that I would be able to go into the store as fast as possible. Toys R Us had grey stone statues of a girl, a boy, a crayon, and …show more content…
My little brother and I ran into the store and we started to look for our something that we might want to get. After looking at the toys, we went to the sports section. The sports section had bikes and other kinds of sport equipments for kids. I saw a bicycle with training wheels and hopped onto the bike and started to pedal. My younger brother also found one and we both rode on the bikes for about half an hour. My parents found us at the sports section and we told them that we had decided to get bikes instead of toys. After a couple of minutes, my parents decided to buy us both bikes. I was glad that they agreed to buy us bikes and I began to choose a bike that I liked. I looked through each row and finally saw a bike that I liked. It turned out that the bike I chose did not match my size, so I had to find another one. I was unhappy for a few minutes and I finally found another one that I liked. This time the size of the bike was just right for me. My little brother chose a Lightning McQueen bike. The bike he chose made race car noises every time he pressed the engine

It was fall, but we were in Florida so it was still ridiculously hot out, my dad just bought a fluorescent yellow bicycle with 3 wheels and a box attached to the back. It reminded me of a ice cream cart but it was something much more. It has a small motor on it that sounded like a Go Kart and smelled just like the smell of gasoline coming from the Go Karts at Boomers. There was two umbrella holding tubes welded to the side of the box on the bike, and in these tubes went a metal bar bent to go
Maybe it’s the fact that I tend to stay in my room all weekend, which leads to people thinking I’m studying when in reality I am probably binge watching a TV show or maybe it’s my glasses, but most people who don’t know me too well assume that I am smart. Now that is a great thing for me because I don’t have to try as hard to impress them, but I end up finding myself in a bit of a problem. The problem is that everyone thinks I enjoy admiring school textbooks. But the truth is I’m usually admiring my Justin Bieber poster on my bedroom wall. Ever since I was in sixth grade I’ve been a huge fan of Bieber. His music always brought a feeling of calmness and back in the day his “never say never” motto, was what I lived by. I might still be living by that motto because I’ve decided to write this essay
Bicycling was an exciting experience for two reasons. First, it has allowed me to travel around the city. Second, it gives me a chance to hang out with my friends. I love bicycling, I think it is fabulous! I can now observe my city, the people that lived there, the architecture, and the trees and animals, etc. Sometimes in our life, we just need to slow down our pace. We're so used to rushing through life that we don't even know what we have missed, but It's hard to blame ourselves because we're busy about our jobs especially when we were living in the city. I was once like that; I head right straight to school when it's time for school. As I walk I would only stare at my watch instead if looking to my left and/ or right.
To start my grandma and I went to Hobby Haven to get a new motor for my rc Traxxas The Rustler. I had a race that night so I had to hurry,I won the motor was so fast.I was remembering when I got 2nd on my first race
I am an undocumented student at UC Davis. When I am asked a simple question such as, "describe your personal experiences", I ask myself: Where do I begin?
As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.
I replied with “Longboard.” So they went and bought me one. Longboards are very expensive the best ones are over $600.00-$700.00 so I didn't think they would get me one. After school I came home and saw a big and long box on my bed right away I knew what it was! Before I opened it I thanked my parents hundreds of times.
I lost my shoes that night to cause they fell off in the lake so my mom had to make me some it was pretty funny. I wouldn't say it was the best experience, but it sure wasn't the worst. Now for the funny part, Some of my worst experiences. i was about eleven so not that long ago we were down in the racetrack area we had found and we hadn't been there for a while and noticed there was a hill of rocks about four feet high so we decided to ride up them because it was flat on the top. I was scared like normal, so my grandpa said “ why don't you go ahead and do the throttle?” I was okay with that so I got ready my grandpa was behind me ready to steer and right when I pushed the throttle I pushed just a little too much and we tipped the four wheeler on top of us, we were crushed between the rocks and the four wheeler for about ten minutes and now when I run I think that's why my knee messes up all the time cause I got a rock stuck in it. Another experience is I was riding my sister around I was ten, she was five I had her up front so she would be safe and we pulled into the driveway because i needed a drink. We stopped and my mom got us a drink, I was turned around talking to my grandpa on the four wheeler no one was paying attention to my sister and while we were talking she pressed the throttle and we crashed into the
Some people like to stay in control of their life and avoid any amount of extraordinary risk to protect their self-disclosure. Other people don’t shy away from challenges as they are confident that certain obstacles are nothing more than just another thing standing in their way from living life to the fullest extent. Through personal experience, I’ve realized that personal comfort is nothing more than a variety of fears that limit me from challenging myself.
A not so long time ago in a galaxy not so far,far,far away, in fact quite close actually, there was a young boy (Me) and a dreadful bike. Now I know what you're thinking, “It’s just a bike, how could it possibly be so bad?” Well, I’ll just have to tell you, from the beginning, the very beginning.
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
I was only ten years old when I began learning how to ride a bike which wasn’t easy for me but got the hang of like any other person would. My family members were annoyed of me constantly asking for someone to teach me. I wanted my own bike just like my sisters and be able to ride along with them and not bother with their rude remarks of not being able to ride a bike. So my father decided to help me learn in front of my building in the summer until I was able to ride on my own. My father's reason for teaching was for us to spend more quality time together since he was always working. It took me three weeks to learn due to the small accident I had which help me learn a valuable lesson.
Then one day after he got tired, he told me to just drive him home. so that was my first time on the highway at 14 and in a full sized truck. That was pretty scary and pretty dangerous. When I ended up getting my first car, he taught me everything about it. He would get out there and roll around on the ground, showing me things about it.
